I’m a dues-paying member of a small nonprofit, and at the last organizational meeting I had the sad task of informing the board of directors that the organization was no longer listed in the IRS’s Publication 78 -- most likely because they hadn’t filed Form 990N -- and they faced the possibility of having their tax-exemption revoked/suspended. Not surprisingly, the board members had no idea what Form 990N was, nor did they know they needed to file it.<BR/><BR/>But isn’t this really the IRS’s fault? Isn’t it their responsibility to communicate with small nonprofits on this matter? The organization to which I belong never received any kind of information from the IRS about Form 990N-- that’s why the board was so in the dark. I’d hate to see half a million nonprofits lose their tax-exemption because they failed to meet a filing requirement the IRS never told them about.Colin Oakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00130866865042632571noreply@blogger.com
